Robbery suspect loses clothes in struggle with clerk

Deputies take blanket-wrapped suspect into custody

A robbery suspect was wrapped in a yellow blanket before deputies led him into a patrol cruiser early Wednesday.

The unidentified man didn't have a stitch of clothing.

Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies say the man robbed a convenience store on Texas Avenue. He is accused of holding the store clerk at gunpoint, taking money and lottery tickets and then fleeing on a bicycle.

The clerk, and his nephew, chased after the culprit, according to officials. They tackled him and a struggle ensued.

The man apparently lost all of his clothing in the scuffle with the other two men. Officials said the two brought him back into the store, naked, and called 911. Deputies then took the accused man into custody.

The so far unidentified suspect was not injured. He faces armed robbery charges.
